Owl watching near the Airport in Brunswick

[Marie Jordan]

Hi folks,

I can see where folks not familiar with the area would be concerned about my post about inquiring where the better spots were to be able to view the owls at the airfield  -  a very large area with restricted access.   I should have noted in my previous inquiry (to learn where the best spot to view the Short-eared Owls around the airfield ) that they are being observed from a very long range and are inhabiting a restricted area.   Enjoying long range views of the birds does not interrupt their feeding and resting activity.  Spotting scopes and/or bins are needed for viewing at the base!   

A couple years ago, three were hanging out at the Portland Jetport where many folks were able to enjoy these graceful owls - again, from a long distance and behind the fences - far enough away so that we were not disturbing their behavior.
